though it's at home.
i loved it, i played it on repeat who knows how many times. if i heard it i could probably still know all the lyrics. then i proceeded to see them in concert 2x, which was pretty amazing back in the day.

a) the more opinions you read or seek the more rounded your opinion will be
b) i never said i was any better than those reading the papers i mentioned, i merely stated that they are fed that media. we are all fed whatever media we choose to injest. it was you who presumed me superior to them.
c) don't pick a fight with me, i will cyberannihilate you.
d) i am better than wrightylew
e) your lack of ivory based civil engineering knowledge is tantamount to me being better than you too
f) stop it now.

i love it.the rap on track 4 is ace.dunno the song title but it goes fofeit the ga\me before somebody else takes you outta the frame put your name to shame cover up your face you cant run the race the pace is too fast you just wont last!

Nu-metal was so old by then. I'm not happy with any bands that head bang in time with each other ( lacuna coil were spoiled for me by this ) I was listening to electric wizard when that album was released!

i was about 18 or 19 when this came out and it was laughable, but hearing it now makes me feel nostalgic and i miss my 6th form. Same goes for Papa Roach and early Lostprohets. All the dudes at school liked Korn, Deftones, Will Haven and Glassjaw... all their girlfriends liked Linkin Park.

I was 9/10 when they got big, they mean so much to me, and seemingly all of my age bracket Let me elaborate:

Three weeks ago I got permission to DJ at my school's Saturday night bar thing under the premise of playing all the 'classics' of the decade. As well as the required Fatman Scoop, DJ Sammy and Shaggy, I took the opportunity to turn the clock back to a simpler time for music and play the likes of 'Fat Lip', 'All The Small Things' and 'Rollin'. The sight of 150 boarding school kids dressed as Avril Lavigne and Pelle Almqvist pummelling each other into pulp was truly something to behold - both 'Gay Bar' and 'Last Resort' resulted in bloody noses and ripped clothes, and I closed with 'In The End'. The singing was louder than the PA, some of my best friends, normally reserved, were spazzing out in fits of euphoria and some guy actually did a running jump into, and subsequently broke, the bench I was resting equipment on.

I'm not crazy about them but really? I mean really REALLY? Forget murderers, child molesters, and rapists for one second, we've found a new moral low..."someone likes a band I don't like". Get over yourself, my God. Why must everyone respond in this sort of casual discourse with ridiculously exaggerated statements. And if you're not exagerating trhen you are seriously considering that a person who happens to enjoy a band you personally don't like is equal in value to K9 excrement (literally) and/ or is afflicted with some sort of (unspecified) mental incapacity. If you really believe that, then quite honestly, you are danger to others - and I'm not making idle chat, I'm really serious about that.

Although I'd hope they're only messing around, people always make ridiculous comments regarding music and the fans of said music, I'm not convinced they're all mentalists. This could really add a whole new dimension to the term "music nazi".

I had a mate at uni who was obsessed with them. He had cds of demos and stuff they did before they were Linkin Park. Obviously wasn't particularly sure of himself though as he was always trying to convince me that they were a "proper" band.

My response was to try and get him into The Cooper Temple Clause. I failed.

I'm not really fussed about Likin Park (although they've got a couple of catchy songs) or Jay Z, so I can be impartial, in case you were wondering. It's one of the worst songs I've ever heard, no exaggeration.

whats the singer called ? Chester Drawers is it ? urgh, I know they were never aimed at my demographic but fuck me, to quote my old Wedding Present t-shirt. ALL THE SONGS SOUND THE SAME (and not in a good way)

They were good then, but now, to me, they are kind of an embarrassing memory. I'm pretty sure every song covers the same topic: generic teen angst. I don't see how they still appeal to people my age, yet there were many people at my 6th form, and even a few at my university who still like them, and people my age have told me that they love how they can relate to the lyrics. I don't know. Things like this bother me, and they probably shouldnt. But it was the same with a guy in my old 6th form who walked around in some band hoody that said 'people=shit', and he clearly believed this to be a deep and important statement on the nature of humanity.
Hmm..this is bordering on rant territory now. I'll quit before I embarrass myself
